POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
New Theories of Chemical Reactions and Molecular Collisions
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research associate position
funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
The research involves the development of novel theories for
understanding the dynamics of chemical reactions and molecular
collisions. There are two complementary themes to the research:
(a) the dynamics of light atom transfer reactions, which involves
computationally intensive scattering calculations.
(b) new semiclassical theories for understanding the angular
scattering of reactive and inelastic collisions.
Examples of our recent research include: Chem. Phys. Lett. 2000 (324) 311,
ibid. 1999 (305) 238, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys 2000 (2) 549, ibid. 1999 (1)
1213, ibid. 1999 (1) 1115, ibid. 1999 (1) 957, Mol. Phys. 1999 (97) 293,
Faraday Discuss. 1998 (110) 139.J. Chem. Phys. 1998 (108) 5695; ibid. 1996
(104) 2297; J. Chem. Soc. Faraday Trans. 1997 (93) 709; J. Comput. Appl.
Math. 1997 (82) 447; Chem. Phys. 1996 (207) 461.
Further information is avalailable at
http://www.ch.man.ac.uk/people/academic/jnlc.html.
Excellent computational facilities are available for the research including
supercomputers and workstations.
The research on the dynamics of light atom transfer reactions involves
collaboration with Professor G C Schatz, Dept. of Chemistry, Northwestern
University, Evanston, Illinois, USA, and some travel to the USA may be
necessary.
The appointment is for up to 3 years. Salary in the range 16775-25215 UK
pounds plus membership of the Universities Superannuation Scheme.
Candidates with strengths in chemistry, physics or mathematics should
send their curriculum vitae and names of two referees to:
